Yahoo, however, did not specify the number of users affected by the outage or its cause.

Downdetector.com, outage monitoring website, also showed that more than four thousand users had been affected by the outage.

Hours later, Yahoo reported that some of its services are back online.

“Most services are back online. This is a technical issue that affected our services. We are sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience as we get everything back up and running,” it wrote.

“We are aware of a technical issue that is impacting our services,” said a spokesman for Verizon Media, Yahoo’s parent company.

“We’ve been able to get most services back online already and appreciate our customers’ patience as we work to get everything up and running as soon as possible.”
